As a skin cancer survivor and now cancer survivor speaker I know if you have cancer your body's pH level is acidic. You can stop cancer growth by normalizing your pH Levels.

I used alternative and complementary medicine as well as conventional medicine (now called integrative medicine) in my ultimately successful fight against cancer. I found that natural cancer treatments enabled me to make profound interior bodily changes that I needed in order to go from cancer victim to cancer survivor. According to Dr. William Kelley, "Only the cancer victim himself can properly treat his own cancer."

One of the ways to begin changing your interior bodily environment so that you prevent cancer is by changing your breathing and the quality of the air that you breathe. Modern people are shallow breathers, due in large part to mainly sedentary lifestyles and lives spent mainly indoors and not out in the fresh air. Yet many medical researchers are convinced that 70% of the toxins in a person's body can be expelled by sufficient amounts of deep breathing alone! Deep breathing in time forces all of the alveolar sacs in the lungs to open up and take in oxygen while expelling carbon dioxide, and the more of this that gets done the cleaner a person's interior environment becomes. A person who breathes well is also a calmer person, and since we know from the mind-body-spirit interconnection that emotions affect one's health positively or negatively, these calmer feelings will only make a person healthier and stand a much better chance of resisting cancer.

Interior air should also be kept as clean and clear as possible. You should use an air purifier in your home and office.

Physical exercise is thus very important to the prevention of cancer. Not only does it stimulate deeper breathing and get you exposed to cleaner air to help you rid your body of toxins that can induce cancer, but it also circulates the cell-bathing fluid called lymph. Lymph provides nutrients to and carries off waste from cells. When lymph does not circulate adequately, bodily tissues "stew" in their own acidic waste products and create an interior environment where cancer is just waiting to happen.

You see, cancerous tissues are acidic. Healthy tissues are alkaline. The water that makes up over 70% of our bodies decomposes into H+ and OH-. When a solution contains more H+ than OH-, it is defined as an acid. When one contains more OH- than H+, it is alkaline.

Alkaline solutions feed water and oxygen to the body's tissues. But acidic solutions prevent the formation of water within tissues and "suffocate" tissues. By nature, our lymph, blood, and cerebral spinal fluids are set to have a pH of 7.4, which is slightly alkaline (any solution greater than 7.0 is alkaline, less than that is acidic), leaving cancer cells dormant and unable to reproduce. If we raise our interior pH level to 8.5 or higher, cancer cells are not only dormant, they literally die.

Fresh and un- or slightly-cooked (cooked briefly at temperatures less than 108° F) fruits and vegetables, especially red or purple grapes and tomatoes, are foods that we can eat an abundance to make our interiors alkaline. We also need to drink a lot of fresh, cold water every day. There have been a lot of positive research results with the "Grape Cure" for people who already have stage 1, 2, or 3 cancer.

Another well-established natural cancer treatment for the prevention of cancer via alkalizing the bodily interior is Blue Green Algae supplementation. The best of these come from Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon or from Hawai'i, but any of them are effective.

So, this changing of the body's interior is really an easy cancer prevention treatment that anyone can do. Get regular aerobic exercise preferably in the outdoors, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables instead of lots of fast food and refined sugar, and take blue green algae supplements.
